ABOUT

My name is Lizanne Deliz, and I am an herbalist, medicine-maker, gardener, cook, and community organizer. I am honored to assist in your healing journey using the art of herbal medicine. I practice energetic herbalism, a type of herbal healing that connects plant energy to our own energetic patterns and the roots of our imbalances, as I learned from my teachers Karyn Sanders and Sarah Holmes at the Blue Otter School of Herbal Medicine. I also trained in Western Herbalism at Ohlone Herbal Center in Berkeley, and have attended numerous workshops and classes with a variety of well-known teachers.

I currently hold a private clinical practice in West Oakland, though I'm also available for Skype consultations. I am a pharmacy technician at Five Flavors Herbs, an herbal pharmacy specializing in both Western and Chinese Herbs. I am also an on-staff herbalist at the holistic healing clinic at Harborside Health Center in Oakland, where clients can see me for free.

I believe deeply that connecting with plant spirit medicine brings us into closer, healthier relationship with our own selves, our bodies, with the natural universe, and with our communities. I also believe all people should be empowered to steer their health- and self-care in directions that nourish and sustain them, with intention and good information. I aim to be a facilitator of those processes with the help of our plant friends.

I do not own nor make any claim to the term "energetic herbalism." It is a name for the style of herbalism I was taught and given assent to practice by my teachers Sarah Holmes and Karyn Sanders of the Blue Otter School of Herbal Medicine.
